Jose Canseco accidentally shot himself while cleaning a gun on Wednesday which got me thinking what were some of the best freak and accidental injuries in Major League history? Here is my list, what's yours?
- Sammy Sosa threw his back out in 2004 when he sneezed twice and got back spasms.
- Chris Coughlin tore a meniscus putting pie in the face of Wes Helms in 2010.
- Marty Cordova fell asleep in a tanning bed in 2002 and missed games due to the burns.
- Joel Zumaya hurt his wrist and forearm playing Guitar Hero in 2006.
- Hunter Pence walked into a sliding glass door after getting out of a hot tub in 2008.
- Jeff Kent broke his wrist washing his truck in 2002.
- Carlos Quentin broke his wrist punching his bat in 2008.
- Carl Pavano ruptures his spleen shoveling snow
I have to go with either Joba breaking his leg on a trampoline, or Kerry Wood hurting himself getting out of a hot tub.
ReplyDeleteTwo that i overlooked, thanks Jeff!
ReplyDeleteAlthough trampoline injuries, my homeowners insurance agent would agent, are not "freak" injuries lol.
